About this product

Product Information

What makes a story a story? What is style? What's the connection between realism and real life? These are some of the questions James Wood answers in "How Fiction Works," the first book-length essay by the preeminent critic of his generation. Ranging widely--from Homer to David Foster Wallace, from "What Maisie Knew "to "Make Way for Ducklings"--Wood takes the reader through the basic elements of the art, step by step. The result is nothing less than a philosophy of the novel--plainspoken, funny, blunt--in the traditions of E. M. Forster's "Aspects of the Novel "and Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style." It sums up two decades of insight with wit and concision. It will change the way you read.

Reviews
"Deservedly famous for [his] intellectual dazzle, literary acuteness and moral seriousness . . . Wood writes like a dream." -Daniel Mendelsohn,The New York Times Book Review "It is not enough to have one Wood. What is needed is a thicket-a forest-of Woods . . . [He proves] that superior criticism not only unifies and interprets a literary culture but has the power to imagine it into being." -Cynthia Ozick,Harper's Magazine, "Deservedly famous for [his] intellectual dazzle, literary acuteness and moral seriousness . . . Wood writes like a dream." -Daniel Mendelsohn, The New York Times Book Review "It is not enough to have one Wood. What is needed is a thicket-a forest-of Woods . . .
